Abstract: Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have many beneficial characteristics like light weight, high strength, stiffness and exhibit greater resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and wear. The effect of TiO2 and graphite particulates on mechanical strength of the Aluminium based composites processed through stir casting technique was investigated. Titanium Oxide (TiO2) and graphite (Gr) particles were used as reinforcement phases for the present study. The hybrid MMCs was prepared with varying volume proportions of TiO2 particles for 4%, 8% and 12% and 3% constant volume of graphite. The average particles size of TiO2 and graphite are 44 microns and 149 microns respectively. The stir casting process was carried out. The microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated on prepared hybrid MMCs.
